This is a band that I know something about, I wrote a bio for JRF on PA when they get added so you can use the same one if that's ok with you. Discogs

In 1975 in Marl, Thomas MIEBS, Rainer DAEDELOW (bassist later replaced
by Udo FUELLHAAS),  Gerd GITZA and Rudiger FREITAG were a a part of a
short-lived band called TORAGERU. The band suffered a major loss when
Gerd GITZA lost his life in a car accident around the same time and his
place as a guitarist would be taken over by Herbert KLINGER, a long-time
friend of FUELLHAAS. As this events occured, the band changed their
name to SURGERY in September 1976, and soon they were joined by sax
placer Udo CUSTODIS from the group JOIN IN. During their early years
they took part three times in a band contest Vest-Rock where they
represented their juridiscal district Marl where they were judged along
side symphonic bands like TRILOGY and ROSSEAU, which resulted in winning
the first place in the contest of 1978. Their first LP was released in
500 copies in 1980 which was sold to friends, at gigs and a few record
shops in the area which didn't help SURGERY get anything more than local
fame (and out of 50 live performances in their seven years of existence
29 were in their hometown Marl). The band would go through a few more
line-up changes after the release of LP until 1982 when Herbert KLINGER
turned more to pure jazz and wanted to abandon field of rock and
jazz-rock entirely. The group didn't want to go on without him so they
disbanded in May in 1982 and performed one more farewell gig at Wulfen
festivan in July of the same year.

Their LP (recently re-released
with some live performances) can be recomended to fans of german jazz
rock that tiptoes the area of krautrock in a similar manner like bands
MUNJU, JOIN IN,  MISSUS BEASTLY and THIRSTY MOON.
